#cpsa

Cpsa is a Sentinel cube adopted by the last Prime Minister of the Cube Society.

Me armé de valor, y golpeé la pared todas las veces que pude, hasta hacerle entender a mi corazón que se dejará de tonterías y que tú, por más que lo hubiera deseado, no estabas destinada para miserables como yo.

Sabes, sí dolía, pero la cruda realidad era esa. Y yo no podía cambiarla.  Solo tenía que aceptar la consecuencia que traía mi error.

Trata de comprenderme un poco, ¿Vale?

Y por favor, no me juzgues.

Last weekend (September 8th and 9th), I traveled to New Jersey and experienced my first ‘con’-like event. It was great! I’ve been wanting to go to comic con and other conventions for a long time now, so that was truly an experience I’ll treasure. 

What I love about events like these is that your favorite tv shows, books, movies, and characters come to life. There’s so much creativity being displayed by different ‘fandoms’ and it feels nice to participate in that. I normally love dressing up and cosplaying, but did not do much with my outfit because of time and other factors. It was nice seeing other people showcase their creativity through cosplay. Being at such an event made me want to start preparing for Halloween early and even tackle Baltimore Comic-Con, which is next weekend. 

There were a lot of stands where independent retailers were showcasing and selling their work. There were lots of cool things, cute little trinkets and merchandise from tv shows and movies. There was a really good blend of retailers, some who make all their art by hand, others who resell bigger brand items like Funko Pop figurines. There were even people doing live speed-painting, tattoos, and engraving names in rings for customers. 

PANEL

Arguably, one of my favorite things from this fan fest was the panels. I got to meet several stars from DC Superhero shows. Shows included Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Gotham, and more. I watched the Flash Panel with Candice Patton (A.k.a: Iris West-Allen) and Hartley Sawyer (Ralph Dibney). They talked about their experiences working on the show, their life before, the impact they feel playing their character has on the public, and their past and future aspirations. I also got to meet and talk with them. They were so nice and down-to-earth, which made the experience of meeting them even better. I also watched the panel of Arrow: New School. This, to me, was the most entertaining part of the event. Everybody was so funny and their personalities meshed well with each other. I also got to see how talented they all were, even beyond acting. A fan had asked one of the members for a ‘beat-box off’, which the actor accepted to. Before I knew it, other actors on the panel were also beat-boxing and I learned that all 5 of them were skilled in that art. The only person from Arrow who I got to meet was Echo Kellum (Mr. Terrific). He was super nice and funny. It was truly a good time.
